We booked this Hotel as my partner and her Mum had stayed there previously and had always enjoyed it. We requested a high floor which was also on the Cosmos booking form, however, when we arrived we were put on the floor -2!! We did eventually get someone to help us with our cases but it took a while and the reception staff were surly to say the least.
I complained about the rooms and was told that we could change if we went back after 9am the following morning.
Foolishly, and being Brits, we said that we would put up with it as "we aren't people who complain". The view from the rooms is a concrete wall with a 15' high fence on top separating the hotel from the rest of the resort.
On the Saturday morning we awoke at 7am and decided to open the oppressively heavy door to let in some air and light!! At 7.15 a thief walked into the room where we were lying in bed and stole my partners bag from the table!
There were 2 bracelets in the bag so we gave chase, by the time we reached the door, the thief was over the huge fence and away.
Reception showed very little interest and gave us a phone number to call which was an ansaphone in Spanish!
Following a bit of a row, the Public Relations Manager, Maria, helped put me through to an English speaking policeman who took details including, for some reason, my parents christian names. He then gave me a crime number which i had to take to the local Police station within 2 days to get another crime number to give to my insurance company. After waiting at the Police station in sweltering heat for 45 minutes, i asked the Spanish lady in the queue before me how long she'd been there, she said over an hour! At this point i gave up prefering to spend the day by the pool with my partner who was very upset by the whole experience.
I would suggest that this is a deliberate tactic by the Police on Tenerife to make their figures look better.
So we lost a couple of hundred pounds worth of jewellery and can't even claim for it!
On the other hand, the hotel was clean and tidy and the food was the best i've ever had for variety and taste, just be prepared to refuse to stay on the -2 floor unless you want to keep the door locked at all times, even when you are in!!
